Clearly, in the United States, the least in the traditional sense? tech industry is ahead of the government on studying basic income. WAn employment-free future means lots of time for leisure and shopping, but it also means no paycheque.

In addition to Ontario’s as a way to give future workers the “freedom to fail.” advances down the road, British Columbia has set aside $4 million to pursue the idea and Quebec has an advisory “Now it’s our time to define a new social contract for committee studying basic income too. our generation,” Zuckerberg said in his commencement address at Harvard last year. “We should explore ideas like And, interestingly, the policy is will land on the floor of the universal basic income to give everyone a cushion to try Liberals’ biennial convention in Halifax in April.

  • A Guide for Writers and Editors Toronto: the Canadian Press 1983
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Canadian Journal of Communication (CJC) CANADIAN JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION, 1984, -10 (3), 83 - 92. REVIEW ESSAY Bob Taylor, Editor C. P. Stylebook: A Guide for Writers and Editors Toronto: The Canadian Press 1983. $ 10.00 Reviewed by: N. Russell School of Journalism and Communications University of Regina Does the seemingly innocuous Canadian Press Stylebook wield much influence on general writ- ing style in Canada? And if -- as this writer contends -- it does, how can such influence be measured and, if necessary, contained? The questions are provoked by the recent publication of a new edition of the Stylebook, who1 ly revised and revamped. Overnight , the little blue (1966 and 1968 editions) or green (1974 and 1978) staff manual has expanded to a fat, fancy production with a $ 10.00 price tag. My own first exposure to the CP bible came when I joined the agency as a reporter in the Halifax bureau, in 1960. The 120-page manual that I was told to memorize contained a lot of mundane instruct ions on f i 1 ing wire-copy via teletype, some f i 1lers on the history of the agency and some rules on CP copy style. To a high school drop-out, many of these were useful and en1 ightening , 1ike the difference between "career" and "careen" (which the rest of the world still persists in ignoring). Some, even then, were archaic or arcane. For instance, peremptorily listed as "Under the Ban" were "chorine", "diesel ized ", natator", and "temblor" -- words that I had never encountered and which in the intervening decades I have never, ever felt any inclination to use.

As Aboriginal Affairs critic for the NDP, I have been proud to listen alongside our Leader, Tom Mulcair and our Northern Affairs critic, Dennis Bevington to Yukon First Nations and Yukoners. Together, we brought the messages from Yukon to Parliament. S-6 cannot be supported. We have been clear; First Nations deserve a federal government that will work, nation-to- nation, and respect the work of Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act. Ottawa should not be dictating to First Nations and Yukoners. As Official Opposition, we made every effort to make sure that Yukon voices were being heard loud and clear throughout the process. In Ottawa, our Leader Tom Mulcair hosted Yukon First Nations to hear concerns first hand. In Ottawa and Whitehorse, we met with Yukon First Nations, Yukon leaders, members of the legislature, members of community and environmental organizations, members of industry and Yukoners who were part of putting together YESAA. The messages we heard guided our opposition in Parliament.

  • 2018 U of T Women in House Reflections – Hart House
    2018 U of T Women in House Reflection Name: Xinhe (Angela) Gu Program: Double Major in Ethics, Society and Law, French Language and Literature, Minor in Environmental Biology Year: 3rd year undergraduate Parliamentary Host: MP Elizabeth May I am so grateful to have been able to experience a day on the Hill, shadowing MP Elizabeth May with fellow student Rebecca Bukovcan. Elizabeth is such a passionate figure, and a force of nature – fighting relentlessly. Her schedule is packed with meetings and engagements, and we often left meetings early, popped into others halfway through, and she gave her one hundred percent attention to everyone. She told us that her goal wasn’t to be the best Green Party leader ever, but to be the best MP for her constituents, and I found that inspiring. As a kid, I used to think that politics was exclusionary, and was filled with boring old people debating boring issues, and my experience on the Hill shadowing Elizabeth proved contrary – I can now envision myself as part of that world, doing meaningful work and being a changemaker on the national level. We started the day with a breakfast briefing on the C3 Expedition – coast to coast to coast – a 150-day- long ship journey that took place this summer to celebrate Canada 150. It brought together Canadians (including Elizabeth) to share experiences, and to work on reconciliation as well. We then rushed downstairs to a meeting on methane regulation in oil-extraction industries in the prairies. Two researchers were presenting their findings, and this was just like what I’d learned in my environmental studies classes, but in real life! Policy-making and interdisciplinary work in action, wow.

  • Bill C-391 Is Now Under Review by the House of Commons Committee on Public Safety and National Security Before It Will Come to a Final Vote at Third Reading
    It Is Time To Take A Stand For Public Safety The National Long-gun Registry was created in 1995 and launched in 1998 as part of the Firearms Act which required gun owners to be licensed, register their firearms and store them locked and unloaded. The law mandated a licensing and registration system, but did not impose any sweeping limitations on access to firearms or usage. The Firearms Act (Bill C-68) was introduced in response to public pressure, particularly through women, to strengthen gun control legislation following the tragic events at the École Polytechnique December 6, 1989. Since then, the gun lobby has fought to rescind the legislation aided by the powerful American National Rifle Association (NRA). Using American style tactics, including expensive and targeted media campaigns at vulnerable Liberal and NDP MPs, the gun lobby has managed with the blessing of the Harper government to introduce a Private Members Bill to eliminate the Long-gun Registry. On November 4, 2009, this Bill was passed through Second Reading in the House of Commons. Bill C-391 is now under review by the House of Commons Committee on Public Safety and National Security before it will come to a final vote at Third Reading. The Bill and efforts to eliminate the Registry have been opposed right across the country by numerous women’s, family and professional organizations like the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and the YWCA of Canada to name a few. People who think it is a good idea to keep track of weapons like rifles and shotguns for the sake of public safety need to have their voices heard.
